A Really Well-Edited AMV (Anime Music Video) Project

     Anime Music videos; they're a pretty controversial topic in the media community. Some people find them to be a fantastic way to further anime production and export to countries around  the world. Many also find it to be an excellent medium for expression and indeed it is a fantastic way to master video editing, but tons of copyright conflicts exist in the world of the anime music video maker. Anime music videos, by default, are automatic copyright infringement for two reasons. The first infringement case involves the unauthorized use of footage in compositions, and the second involves the use of music that is usually the property of an artist other than the creator of the AMV. It's easy to see why people get up in arms about this, but I'm going to admit to you right here and now that I love AMVs and I hope very much that people continue to be allowed to make them for non-profit purposes. As long as you're not making money from your AMV, I don't see why we shouldn't be making them and furthering the medium. Of course, many people will disagree with me, but it's my personal opinion and I will stand by it.

     That being said, here are two of the best projects I've seen in a long time. The first is a collaborative piece (many segments from many creators put together by a master editor) by Strawberry Kiss Studio of Re-Evolution Studios. Re-Evolution Studios seems to be an international gathering of Anime Music Video artists on Youtube. It's pretty cool. The editing is fantastic.

     The next project I'm going to share is actually not an anime music video, but a pretty neat art project done by Kama152a. It's really sweet!

Hope you enjoy the videos!
